Place peanut flour on a large plate. Roll the kebabs in the peanut flour until generously coated.

Oil the grill grate. Grill kebabs, turning with tongs, until beef is cooked to taste, 2-3 minutes per side (8-12 minutes total) for medium-rare.

Pulse until mixture is finely ground. Be careful not to overprocess or you'll have peanut butter.
